Yup, things like that will happen when your dyslectic and you let the spell checker correct it mostly for you (auto pilot) and you don't proofread.
I guess if it really mattered, I would, but it doesn't.
But I'm sure all of your posts are with out fault.
Some of us do care about what we present to others. Why would you think it doesn't matter?
hmm, a 40 ton vehicle at highway speed hitting a 2 ton vehicle broadside, and you expected the 2 ton vehicle to do anything else other than what it did?
I don't think many vehicles on the road would have coped with such an accident and the occupants survived.
This person is no more dead from driving a 4x4 than they would be from driving a Prius.
They are dead from what looks like it could have been a momentary lapse of concentration allowing the vehicle to wander onto the slippery snow in the middle.
Notable, however is the fact that at no time during the accident do the SUV's brakelights illuminate, suggesting they weren't braking.
Was the OP was trying to make the point that one is not as safe as he thinks in an suv. I think one is pretty safe in a semi, not so safe in a plastic SUV and risking life at every turn in a subcompact.

What surprised me, when watching that video, is that the SUV just kind of exploded on impact. The debris flew all over as if it was made of plastic. I wouldn't think that metal would blow up quite like that.
Many modern cars are largely made of plastic.
Although not the type of plastic which probably springs to mind first.

I doubt that would have been survivable by anyone other than another semi. That being said, I prefer driving SUVs for this. My last jeep was rear ended twice...first time, the car went under me and both of us had little more than dents. The second time, I drove the jeep home with a crushed rear bumper, the car that hit it dumped everything but the oil on the ground and went home on a flatbed with a destroyed front end.

Now, if we all fully disclosed who we are and if we all were perfect then making a small mistake might mean something.
If I'm dirty from working I don't clean up to go to the parts store or lumber yard.
I've gotten over the fact I'm not perfect, how about you?
bottom line, I don't need you to "look out" for me or to bring my spelling or grammar mistakes to the forefront and correct them for me. Thanks but no thanks as this is not English 101.
All your post did is take 3-4 posts off topic and a thread into the ditch.

Yeah, I know that. My wife's car is a Saturn.
I was just surprised by how the SUV just seemed to EXPLODE, and shards of what looked like plastic flew everywhere.
